MFSA Website Update—The MFSA launched its updated website in conjunction with our Annual Meeting at the end of January 2019. In addition to being refreshed and more user friendly, it is designed to make it easier for users to find what they need.
Arrival Notice—Later this year the Exchange will launch an updated online Arrival Notice page for agents and vessel operators. Until then, everything remains the same. We’ll keep you informed as the date approaches. Again, our goal is to improve the function of the site for our users.
